Non-perturbative transitions among intersecting-brane vacua
/ Angelantonj, Carlo ; Condeescu, Cezar ; Dudas, Emilian ; Pradisi, GianfrancoWe investigate the transmutation of D-branes into Abelian magnetic backgrounds on the world-volume of higher-dimensional branes, within the framework of global models with compact internal dimensions. The phenomenon, T-dual to brane recombination in the intersecting-brane picture, shares some similarities to inverse small-instanton transitions in non-compact spaces, though in this case the Abelian magnetic background is a consequence of the compactness of the internal manifold, and is not ascribed to a zero-size non-Abelian instanton growing to maximal size.
